MySQL is among the most widespread database administration systems out there. A database is a group of cells with information that are structured in tables and the control system is the piece of software that links the data to a script application. As an example, a forum stores all posts, usernames, avatars and so on inside a database and each time a site visitor opens a given thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content that needs to be displayed on a certain page. MySQL is really popular due to its great efficiency, ease of use and the fact that it can function with lots of popular scripting languages including PHP, Python, Perl, etc. All dynamic sites which are designed with a script-driven application need some form of database and a lot of the most popular ones including Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress work with MySQL.

If you would like to manage the content of a database directly, not through a script, you shall have two options - either working with the web interface of the phpMyAdmin tool, that is available in the Control Panel, or using an app installed on your computer as we support remote database access.
